Chapter 18 Touched his heart immediately
"Today we are all thanks to Jianguo and Dakunzi, otherwise we would not be able to wash ourselves clean even if we jumped into the Yellow River." Yao Guixiang got a headache when she thought of Ma Chunhua coming to make trouble.
"Um."
Su Luo responded. She was not afraid of Ma Chunhua or anyone else. She would fight anyone who came to pick a fight with her to the end.
At lunchtime, fourth uncle Jiang Jiaan and grandfather Jiang Houde came back from the fields. Su Luo helped them prepare water for washing their faces. They washed their faces and sat down to eat.
The fragrant three fresh vegetables and pancakes were served on the table. In order to nourish Su Luo's body, Yao Guixiang specially steamed a large pot of egg custard for her in an enamel pot.
But Su Luo gave half to Xiaoliu.
"Sister Luoluo, please eat it! I don't want to eat egg custard!"
Xiaoliu had no shortage of food, so it didn't matter whether there was egg custard or not. He poured the egg custard in the bowl back to Su Luo.
Seeing Su Luo being so sensible, Yao Guixiang said distressedly, "Luoluo, that's specially for your health. Eat it yourself. When Xiaoliu wants to eat it, I will prepare it for him, understand?"
"I know, Grandma."
Su Luo felt particularly satisfied eating the cakes and dishes made by her grandmother.
Remembering the kindness of her grandmother and others, she silently vowed to be filial to them in the future.
During the meal, Jiang Xiaoliu told Yao Guixiang that Su Luo wanted to eat lobster.
Yao Guixiang frowned upon hearing this. "Luoluo wants to eat lobster? How can something like that taste good, with more shell than meat and a fishy smell?"
Most rural people don't like to eat lobsters. Nowadays, there are lobsters everywhere in paddy fields, canals, ditches and ponds, but they have a strong fishy smell, too many shells, waste oil and are not filling, so working people don't like to eat them.
Only Su Luo knew that in modern society, crayfish were extremely popular. They could be sold for dozens of yuan per pound in big cities, and a serving of spicy crayfish in a restaurant could cost hundreds of yuan.
"Grandma, Sister Luoluo said it's delicious and needs chili peppers. I want to eat it too." Xiaoliu also wanted to try it.
"Okay, let your grandpa go to the canal to catch them this afternoon, and I'll cook them for you in the evening."
As long as it is something my granddaughter wants to eat, no matter what flies in the sky or runs on the ground or swims in the water, as long as it is available, I will get it for you.
"Grandpa, there's no need to catch them. Sister Luoluo and I will go fishing for lobsters in the pond this afternoon. Lobsters that we catch ourselves are more delicious!" Xiaoliu said seriously, like a little mischievous boy.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you, but be careful." Yao Guixiang agreed.
During the meal, Jiang Jiaan mentioned that he would be moving bricks at the town kiln in the afternoon. "I've finished the work in the fields this morning. I'll go to the kiln to do some odd jobs this afternoon. I'll be back late tonight, so don't wait for me to eat."
After Su Luo heard these words, for some reason, some strange images suddenly appeared in her mind.
What appeared on the screen was a large brick-making kiln in a kiln factory. It suddenly collapsed and many people were buried, including Jiang Jiaan.
As the picture appeared, Su Luo also felt a strong sense of palpitations, as if that thing was about to happen.
This premonition is too strong to be true!
It also made Su Luo realize that maybe this was a special ability she gained after entering the book, which allowed her to foresee some bad things.
Looking at her fourth uncle's simple and honest face, Su Luo felt that she must not let anything happen to him.
We must stop my fourth uncle from going to the kiln factory this afternoon!
"Fourth uncle, can you not go to the kiln factory this afternoon?" Su Luo spoke.
Jiang Jiaan, who was eating, heard this and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Luoluo?"
"Xiaoliu and I are going to fish for lobsters this afternoon, but no one is here to dig earthworms for us. Uncle Si, can you help us?" Su Luo asked.
Digging earthworms wasn't a simple task. Jiang Jia'an agreed without even thinking, "Okay, Fourth Uncle will help you dig."
He could dig up the earthworms and then go to town.
After dinner, Su Luo followed her fourth uncle and Xiao Liu to leave the Jiang family. Her fourth uncle took a shovel, and Su Luo and Xiao Liu each took a bamboo jar.
The bamboo jar was woven by my grandfather himself. This kind of bamboo jar has a small mouth and a big belly, which can hold many lobsters. It is breathable and not easy to kill.
Go dig for earthworms first.
Jiang Jiaan started digging in the ground close to the compost. Generally, there are a lot of earthworms in such places, and they are also very fat.
Without much effort, Jiang Jiaan helped them dig out more than ten earthworms.
"Okay, these earthworms are enough for you to fish for an entire afternoon. Fourth uncle is leaving, you guys can go and have fun!" Jiang Jiaan picked up the shovel and was about to leave.
Seeing that Fourth Uncle was about to leave, Su Luo grabbed him in time and said, "Fourth Uncle, I'm afraid of earthworms. I dare not touch them. I'm so scared!"
Su Luo jumped up and down, looking as if she was afraid that the earthworm would twist.
Jiang Jiaan was amused. "What's there to be afraid of earthworms? They're just bugs. They don't bite."
Jiang Xiaoliu picked up an earthworm and swung it in front of Su Luo. "Yeah, earthworms don't bite, they're not scary at all!"
"Hey, it's slippery and moves. I'm scared. I don't dare to touch it."
Su Luo's timidity made Jiang Xiaoliu very happy. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. "Sister Luoluo, it turns out you are afraid of earthworms. Hahahaha, I thought you were not afraid of anything!"
"Fourth Uncle, can you help us tie the rope to make a hook? I don't dare touch the earthworms."
Su Luo said that she didn't know how to tie a rope, and Jiang Xiaoliu didn't know how to tie a rope either, so Jiang Jiaan had no choice but to agree to stay and help them make fishing hooks.
Jiang Jiaan helped Su Luo and Xiao Liu make a fishing hook each, tied a rope to one end of a long stick, and tied a few earthworms to the other end of the rope.
The simple lobster hook is ready.
"Okay, now you can go shrimp fishing."
Jiang Jiaan handed the fishing hook to Su Luo and Xiao Liu and prepared to leave, but how could Su Luo let him go?
She blocked Jiang Jiaan's way again and pestered him, "Fourth Uncle, come with us to go shrimp fishing. I've never fished before, can you help me?"
"Sister Luoluo, I know how to fish. I can teach you!" Xiaoliu volunteered.
"But I want my fourth uncle to go lobster fishing with me. Fourth uncle, I've never fished for lobsters since I was a child. My father didn't love me when I was born and always beat me. So what I really want is to have a father who loves me and go lobster fishing with me. Fourth uncle, I envy Xiaoliu so much for having such a good father like you. It would be great if you could go lobster fishing with me."
Su Luo had to show off her acting skills, and drops of clear tears emerged from her innocent eyes.
That’s it. I don’t believe that you, Fourth Uncle, won’t waver!
Jiang Xiaoliu was about to cry anyway. He felt that Sister Luoluo was so pitiful!
There is no good father. Her father actually beats her often. What kind of bad father is he? He should be dragged out and fed to the dogs.
Jiang Jiaan saw his niece crying and heard what she said, which was so pitiful that it touched his heart and made him feel sorry for her.
